August Edmun "Augie" Garrido, Jr. (born February 6, 1939) is a former head coach in NCAA Division I college baseball and is current special assistant to the athletic director at the University of Texas. At the end of the 2016 season, Garrido compiled a collegiate record of 1975-919-9. He has taken his programs to 15 College World Series.
Garrido is a former head coach of the Texas Longhorns, where he had coached since 1997 and currently has a record of 824–427–2.
Garrido's teams have won five national titles (1979, 1984, 1995, 2002, 2005). He is one of only two coaches, along with Andy Lopez, to lead teams from more than one school (CSUF Titans and Texas Longhorns) to national titles, and is among the winningest college coaches in history. He is the first coach to guide teams to national championships in four different decades.
Additionally, Garrido has earned 15 trips to the College World Series, including eight at Texas, while garnering National Coach of the Year honors five times (1975, 1979, 1984, 1985, 2002), regional coach of the year accolades following six different seasons (1975, 1979, 1984, 1985, 2002, 2004) and conference coach of the year distinctions on three occasions (1987, 1995, 2002). Garrido's teams have won league championships in 20 different seasons.
Garrido's Fullerton team defeated Texas in the 1984 College World Series Championship game. Twenty years later, Garrido's Texas team lost to Fullerton in the 2004 College World Series Championship Series. Garrido had to apologize for not sending his team out of the locker room to receive a second-place trophy after it lost to Fullerton in the Series. Garrido and the Longhorns were criticized as poor sports after the 3–2 defeat in Omaha.
Garrido led Texas to the College World Series four straight years from 2002 to 2005 (winning it twice). In 2006, despite being ranked No. 3 in the nation at the end of the regular season, Texas was defeated at home in a NCAA regional by Stanford.
On April 29, 2011, Garrido became the first NCAA Division I coach to reach 1,800 victories as the seventh-ranked Longhorns defeated No. 14 Oklahoma 5–0 in front of 7,339 fans at UFCU Disch–Falk Field.
